Itβs been another month of work/play balance for Benny. Getting up at about 6 a.m. to avoid the summer heat, Benny gets his playtime in at the park and the lake. All this energy requires a nap. Then off to do errands like the mall, which is good for working on...

Benny spent much of July trying to avoid the heat. Going to places with cold floors where he could stretch out, became one of his favorite activities. He also enjoyed some shady forest walks and was happy to find a refreshing pond to cool off in. Every day is a...

Hard to believe that little Benny is now six months old. Well, heβs not so little, and it seems that each morning as he stretches out of his kennel, Benny is getting bigger, to the point of being about 55 pounds. A bigger body, yet still as adorable and puppyish as...

At five months, Benny has come a long way. He is fully house-trained, happily sleeps in his kennel and loves to be pampered with a bath or toothbrushing (it is, after all, chicken-flavored toothpaste). Even so, Benny is far from being a grown-up. He still loves his...
